Anyone who hosts websites can check the logs and see the bots hammering away at wp/admin primarily, even if you are not running any WordPress. Low hanging meat? Fresh fruit?

I have developed and hosted over 760 WP sites since 2006 and have never been hacked. Ever.
Mediocre craftspeople blame their tools.

Glad you got lucky. But a tool having one critical vulnerability after another has nothing to do with mediocre craftsmanship and blaming admins for getting hacked after updating their software is nothing but disrespectful and condescending
